Any ideas?
 
So my car has started leaving a puddle on the ground. At first it was a little bit and my friend said it was condensation. Then I noticed it wasn't drying up. Then I noticed there were times that my car left a trail wherever it went. Now there's this huge puddle in my driveway. My dad had me put newspaper under the engine, run it for a minute, and then check an hour later. The only wet spot is on the driver's side behind the front axle. Any ideas of what it could be?

Are you using the A/C when it happens?

BlazeS70 08-18-2009 12:12 AM

I guess...it's summer in Texas so my A/C is running pretty much any time the engine is on.

If it is clear it should be from the A/C.

Nope, it's definatly brown. But there are moments when I can smell oil when the A/C is on.

HMMM like tranny fluid or oil?

I'm pretty sure it's oil. I lost a lot of it. I hope it's not tranny fluid because I haven't checked it yet.

By the way, could a problem with the PCV throw a EVAP leak code?

My puddle
 
My puddle in that area was power steering fluid and it took me a while to figure it out beacause the protective boot was filling up with power steering fluid and then dripping slowly when it sat. Finally noticed the boot was sagging and reached down to find it full of fluid, hopefully this is not your problem but my puddle was in the exact same spot as yours.

Now it will not throw that code 2 different systems.
